2015-2016 PACING GUIDES
Mathematics Pacing Guides
There are 5 less instructional days prior to the FSA testing window in 2015-2016 as compared to 2014-2015. 2014-2015: 142 instructional days 2015-2016: 137 instructional Days As a result, the FSA Standards Review (formerly called Crunchtime Review) was decreased to 5 days in order to avoid reducing instructional days for the teaching of new concepts.

Reference Sheets
Test Design Summary and Blueprints Technology-Enhanced Item Types – Mathematics 1. Editing Task Choice – The student clicks a highlighted word or phrase, which reveals a drop-down menu containing options for correcting an error as well as the highlighted word or phrase as it is shown in the sentence to indicate that no correction is needed. The student then selects the correct word or phrase from the drop-down menu. For paper-based assessments, the item is modified so that it can be scanned and scored electronically. The student fills in a circle to indicate the correct word or phrase. 2. Editing Task – The student clicks on a highlighted word or phrase that may be incorrect, which reveals a text box. The directions in the text box direct the student to replace the highlighted word or phrase with the correct word or phrase. For paper-based assessments, this item type may be replaced with another item type that assesses the same standard and can be scanned and scored electronically. 3. Hot Text – a. Selectable Hot Text – Excerpted sentences from the text are presented in this item type. When the student hovers over certain words, phrases, or sentences, the options highlight. This indicates that the text is selectable (“hot”). The student can then click on an option to select it. For paperbased assessments, a “selectable” hot text item is modified so that it can be scanned and scored electronically. In this version, the student fills in a circle to indicate a selection. b. Drag-and-Drop Hot Text – Certain numbers, words, phrases, or sentences may be designated “draggable” in this item type. When the student hovers over these areas, the text highlights. The student can then click on the option, hold down the mouse button, and drag it to a graphic or other format. For paper-based assessments, drag-and-drop hot text items will be replaced with another item type that assesses the same standard and can be scanned and scored electronically. 12 | P a g e N o v e m b e r 2 0 1 4 4. Open Response – The student uses the keyboard to enter a response into a text field. These items can usually be answered in a sentence or two. For paper-based assessments, this item type may be replaced with another item type that assesses the same standard and can be scanned and scored electronically. 5. Multiselect – The student is directed to select all of the correct answers from among a number of options. These items are different from multiple-choice items, which allow the student to select only one correct answer. These items appear in the online and paper-based assessments. 6. Graphic Response Item Display (GRID) – The student selects numbers, words, phrases, or images and uses the drag-and-drop feature to place them into a graphic. This item type may also require the student to use the point, line, or arrow tools to create a response on a graph. For paper-based assessments, this item type may be replaced with another item type that assesses the same standard and can be scanned and scored electronically. 7. Equation Editor – The student is presented with a toolbar that includes a variety of mathematical symbols that can be used to create a response. Responses may be in the form of a number, variable, expression, or equation, as appropriate to the test item. For paper-based assessments, this item type may be replaced with a modified version of the item that can be scanned and scored electronically or replaced with another item type that assesses the same standard and can be scanned and scored electronically. 8. Matching Item – The student checks a box to indicate if information from a column header matches information from a row. For paper-based assessments, this item type may be replaced with another item type that assesses the same standard and can be scanned and scored electronically. 9. Table Item – The student types numeric values into a given table. The student may complete the entire table or portions of the table depending on what is being asked. For paper-based assessments, this item type may be replaced with another item type that assesses the same standard and can be scanned and scored The Florida Standards Assessments (FSA) are composed of test items that include traditional multiple choice items, items that require students to type or write a response, and technology-enhanced items(TEI). Technology-enhanced items are computer-delivered items that require students to interact with test content to select, construct, and/or support their answers.

Mathematics Formative Assessment System (MFAS) MFAS include tasks or problems teachers can implement with their students and rubrics that help the teacher interpret students’ responses. Teachers using MFAS ask students to perform mathematical tasks, explain their reasoning and justify their solutions. Includes videos of questioning strategies with students. MFAS Performance Tasks on the Math Florida Standards and PD modules for grades 4-8, Algebra, and Geometry are available in CPALMs. Also available: Lesson Study Toolkits Getting Started Moving Forward Got It Almost There Misconceptions Examples of Student Work at this Level Questions Eliciting Thinking Instructional Implications
